afterall you and your cronies have let a bigger snake than most escape in the guise of a fanatical jackass in Agghanistan - didn't you?????????????????????????????????????????

As for real snakes escaping - I have had my share, all it sometimes takes is a moments distraction that makes you think about other than clsoing that snake cage properly. Or in my case, my muddled middle aged brain gets all mushed up now and then I I forget to secure the tank tops.
